[PATCH] jffs2: fix jffs2 mounting failure

[Zhe Li <lizhe67@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a scene that may easily case mounting failure while using
nand flash with jffs2. The steps are listed below.
1.erase nand flash
2.mount jffs2 on it (this mounting operation will be successful)
3.do chown or chmod to the mount point directory
4.umount jffs2
5.mount jffs2 on nand flash
Step 5 will return I/O ERROR

The reason for this mounting failure is that at the end of function
jffs2_scan_medium(), jffs2 will check the used_size and some info
of nr_blocks.If conditions are met, it will return -EIO.

In the steps listed above, step 3 will write jffs2_raw_inode into
flash without jffs2_raw_dirent, which will cause that there are some
jffs2_raw_inode but no jffs2_raw_dirent on flash. This will meet
the condition at the end of function jffs2_scan_medium() and return
-EIO if we umount jffs2 and mount it again.

Typical image of this problem is like:
Empty space found from 0x00000000 to 0x008a0000
Inode node at xx, totlen 0x00000044, #ino 1, version 1, isize 0...

This patch add a flag to fix this problem. Appropriate bits of the
flag will be set if we scan a jffs2_raw_inode with ino != 1 and
ino == 1. And the flag will be check at the judgment of return
-EIO,which is mentioned above.
